[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 729320, member: 21499"] I went through a lot with my son at that age and now wish i had pressed charges but even now that is hard. I have told others here that by spending so much effort trying to fix my oldest i drove my other 2 away they moved out of state right after college and i pretty much see them on holidays. One way to reach your wife may be with stories like this. She may decide she is not willing to lose them. The biggest break i had with him was when he got in trouble with the law and instead of getting him out of it we plea bargained him into a residential facility for 6 months. If you get an opportunity like that take it. It is one thing i do not regret at all. Even he admitted at one point it was good for him. I also agree with the others about making sure the younger ones are safe either by you moving out with them or moving him somewhere else. If you are letting him do as he wants he is not facing natural consequences, he is not facing any. I like the camera ideas you then have evidence to show police if he tries to falsely accuse you of anything. I hope you find some peace. [/QUOTE]
